giving these priority.  
Hi
We are to going on a 139 visa. we
sent off our application to Oz end of Feb, 4 weeks later we were
requested for medicals (most other visa are waiting up to 6 months for
this!!!) so we are now just waiting for the decision. We have been
informed DIMIA for fast tracking this visa, & will hopefully be
processed between 4-6 months.
Have you sent off your application form
yet???? Also what part of oz do you hope to settle????
Hope this is of
some help.
Bye

Hi Biggy
Thanks for your reply, would
you mind answering a few questions for me regarding your visa, after
your medicals were sent off what was the next stage, the bond request or
the final decision????  what part of Oz do you hope to settle in?
Thanks again

    @member14029: "Hi there
I've just received my 139 visa.  Submitted early Jan so 5
months.  Front loaded meds and police checks.  However would have been
much quicker but needed an oz police check which held us up for 2 months
as they are extremely busy.  Generally it appears to go through very
quickly
Best of luck
